It was one of a series of free concerts there, with a notable guest organist. Several hundred people were in attendence. Very cool. I sat there in awe of the sound and technique required to master such a daunting instrument. Pipe organs continue to have fans around the world, and many of them travel great distances to experience what I did, for free, 5 min away from where I live. What Jack heard: Excerpts from "Organ's Centennial Gig Finds It in Fine Voice," 8/24/2008, http://tinyurl.com/5jcnb8 <http://tinyurl.com/5jcnb8> : The Great Auditorium organ, among the largest in the world, is at once both massive and fragile....Its sound is as distinctive a part of a New Jersey summer as the horn-driven rock 'n' roll that once flourished just across the Wesley Lake footbridge in Asbury Park, Ocean Grove's worldlier neighbor.... The doors had been slid open to let in the sea breeze, and the music rolled out into the twilight. The sun was setting behind the auditorium, a natural spotlight hitting the stage, focused not on any of the musicians, but instead on the tall golden pipes of the organ. The light climbed as the music ebbed and flowed, until it finally ascended out of sight, and the windows filled with darkness, and the organ played on. from Organ's Centennial Gig Finds It in Fine Voice - NYTimes.com <http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/24/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/24colnj.htm\ l?adxnnl=1&ref=nyregionspecial2&adxnnlx=1219493870-zP8X0XaZYXW1gHXha2kg8\ A>
